This video should answer some of your questions. Note that the hull is sitting in padded cradles while the deck is being stripped on the forms.

: Hi I am a newbie and prepping to make my first strip build and have
: a few questions on form removal and Deck/Hull joining using an
: external
: strongback. Most of the videos and tutorials I have
: found are for using an internal strong back. However I have already
: built and am planing on using an external strong back.

: My questions are:

: When do you remove the forms from the haul?

: Do you build the haul glassit remove the forms set the hull aside
: then flip the forms over remount them on the strong back and
: strip up the deck? If so how
: do you get the deck and haul to line/mate up properly?

: I have seen some people use a lamentation shear strip inside to get
: things lined up and tied together – what are pros and cons of
: this vs a strip of fiberglass down the seam inside?
